UK government to invest £23 million for diversity in AI

The UK government is investing up to £23 million in order to boost diversity and skills in AI and data science jobs.

Indeed, the government aims to create more AI and data conversion courses and help underrepresented groups get tech jobs without having previous experience in the field. These scholarships will enable graduates to continue their studies in the field and thus, create experts in data science and AI.

Moreover, this initiative will create opportunities in the AI industry as well as improve the diversity of this growing and innovative sector. By doubling the number of AI scholarships available, it will encourage a diverse and inclusive workforce fit for the future of tech. It is then essential to equip the future workforce with the skills they need for this technology while making the industry accessible to people from all backgrounds.

Moreover, the government is encouraging companies to encourage industry participation and investment in AI scholarships for the conversion courses. In the long-term, this should enable a growing number group of students to study AI and data science.

The initiative is part of the government’s National AI Strategy that aims to boost the UK’s leadership as a global science and AI superpower.
